Yes it is. You sought to bolster the mention of Penrose's almost-certainly ridiculous consciousness-is-quantum ideas by starting with an implicit description of his rank as a scientist.

Had you started with: "There are a handful (and I do mean a mere handful) of scientists, most of them with no background in either brain or computation science, who think ...." and then later mentioned Penrose, you'd be right.

But you chose to lead with his nominal status derived from his life as a talented and (rightfully) celebrated mathematician, thus attempting to improve the otherwise less than marginal status of the quantum-centric view of consciousness with his authority.
Sure. You hire a lobbyist for that part.

you think the free market EVER existed? oh you sweet summer child. it has been owned and run by the ultra wealthy since day one. there is no "fair" with the free market, because not everything is equal. education, defense, banking, healthcare are not meant to turn a profit, but here we are.
better homepage with description of what this is: https://github.com/speced/bikeshed

> Bikeshed is a pre-processor for spec documents, turning a source document (containing only the actual spec content, plus several shorthands for linking to terms and other things) into a final spec document, with appropriate boilerplate, bibliography, indexes, etc all filled in. It's used on specs for CSS and many other W3C working groups, WHATWG, the C++ standards committee, and elsewhere!

I don't follow your line of thought.
I would believe this - after all how many billions of dollars did Google pay Apple to be the primary search engine on iOS? This further erodes my confidence in Apple doing the right thing and I think the EU is doing the world a service by setting in motion alternative app stores.
It's old enough that patents are definitely not an issue, and dead enough that trademarks are probably defunct. So any imitation/inspiration that falls short of obvious copyright infringement is unlikely to run into trouble.

I don't think I'm making any assumptions about what's best. I bring it up because the most common argent levied against mega corps is using monopoly power to drive up prices, which I don't think is always true.

If people specifically want to break them up to drive down prices, I don't think that will always be successful.
IMO, Dennett's book is a tour de force review of many others' writing about free will combined with what he considers his own contributions to the philosophical ideas around it. It is a relatively easy read, but also profound, and (again, IMO) he dispenses with your "The only free will that matters is: can we defy physics..." quite thoroughly and effectively.

Reading the back cover is certainly not an adequate way to assess the contents (not that it ever is, but is certainly is not in this case).
Also, he bought an existing clinic which, if already successful, has business value. It generally costs more to buy a successful business than to start one, though that’s not an ironclad law.
C doesn't really have a "run time". The startup code is optional and I wouldn't really call it a "run time" in the sense that Go has a runtime for managing goroutines and GC.

It's not that easy to write Go code with no dynamic memory allocations and no GC pressure.

I think it's fair to say "C is faster than Go". It's not purely a function of the language but a combination of factors including the quality of the compiler/optimizer, available libraries, and language features (and their performance cost).
Is everything in Salesforce land like this? I worked with a nonprofit and we tried to implement their nonprofit solution, and it was exactly like that.

One of my current clients was trying to onboard one of their industry specific solutions that was only available through a channel/partner engagement. Decided to add SFMC into the mix but it was out of scope for the partner so she sent me the documentation. A 400 page PDF of absolute garbage which was impossible to implement because it was filled with references to missing information, deprecated or removed features, and bizarre directives to do things that weren’t even sensible or possible. Ended up scrapping the entire project after four months and six digits in billables to Salesforce and the partner with nothing to show for it.
The Pultizers are a mutual admiration society for elite journalists. Nothing wrong with that.

But let’s not confuse this for the best journalism or literature in America.

>If you're losing potential paying customers because you lock them out of the trial because they didn't come back to it for a week, it's your sales that will suffer.

Business are risk averse. They don't care about that as much as the real worst case: you become winRar and you have a lot of paying customers that never convert because you gave away too much of your product. It's really hard to put thst genie back into the bottle.
This is different each time you try it. They may use the exit node's country (I doubt they'd be so naive), some other fingerprinting, or just have a limited number of anonymous accounts to give out each day, which is what cockli does.

I reran the results on my m1 mac pro since this post is 6 years old:

python etree: 3.25s
python lxml: 2.01s
go stdlib: 3.35s
go gosax: 1.45s
C: 0.38s

So, python etree gives the same result 6 years on while lxml has gotten faster. Go's standard library does about as well as python's stdlib, and has gotten faster on the cgo binding.

Procedure:

- clone https://github.com/eliben/xmlgen
- run `xmlgen -f 2 > out.xml` to generate a test xml file
- clone https://github.com/eliben/code-for-blog/ and switch to the 2019/xml-stream dir
- mv out.xml from above to the current directory
- `time python etree-count.py out.xml`
- `pip install lxml && time python lxml-count.py out.xml`
- `go build go-stdlib-count.go && time ./go-stdlib-count out.xml`
- `cd c-libxmlsax-count && make && time ./c-libxmlsax-count ../out.xml`
- `cd gosax-count && go build gosax-count-simple.go && time ./gosax-count-simple ../out.xml`

It's not a like it's a vote. Most people didn't choose it. They had it because their corp uses Windows, and Windows came with IE, and IT did not allow other browsers.
I think a bad metric is very much worse than nothing. It sucks away time to record, debate, report, and discuss. It encourages bad decision making. If you throw up a number people will give it weight, even if it's stupid. Multiplying 6 gut checks and trying to make a decision about engineering direction is like tracking someone's mood by the metric of whether they ate an odd or even number of calories yesterday. There's theoretically a signal under all that noise, but the direct gut-check or any number of qualitative clues are so much better than the distracting number.

If it's literally called a dedicated server, why would you suspect otherwise?

Yes, I just tested it and was able to register by giving a (disposable) email.

Takes me back to organic chemistry classes decades ago where molecules were often printed in stereo pairs to break out of 2D thinking about 3D structures. One could use special glasses or train the eyes to see them. The latter method had the risk of getting left/right reversed which is a big deal when looking at chiral molecules where "handedness" is critical.
I don't fight it. I recently bought a new laptop that came installed with 11. I installed Linux Mint alongside 11. I only use 11 to play steam games and I always boot into airplane mode, so never get annoyed with Microsoft nagging, never get an update that destroys my dual boot arrangement, etc.

I use Linux for real work.
I find it's much easier and cleaner to Uninstall on windows 11 compared to messy macos.
> You don’t see PE firms buying up restaurants.

c.f. the 2-5 "restaurant groups" in every midsized city with a portfolio of "concepts" who open up a new one just as the one from last year starts to get stale and lose momentum. The ones that always seem to have absolutely exorbitant interior design budgets. Where exactly do you think their funding is coming from?
If it's painful to you, you're doing it wrong. At 8 you should get him to the library and let him chose himself what books he wants to read. Also, you don't have to like the books he choses. You despising his book choice is irrelevant.
A lot of monitors* in that era (1994ish) that could handle 640x480 or 800x600 at an acceptable-ish refresh rate of 60, 72, or 75Hz, could only do 1024x768 as an interlaced mode - meaning odd and even lines were drawn on alternate frames, so the overall refresh rate was effectively halved. The lack of phosphor persistence over such long "frames" manifested as visible flicker. IIRC, 1024x768 @ 43Hz interlaced was a common (supported, if rarely used) standard. It hurt.

* Graphics card RAMDAC bandwidth was a limiting factor for higher resolutions x higher refresh rates, too. And video memory limited higher desktop resolutions x higher color depths for years - really until 3D accelerators were coming of age.

There’s a passage in there about Nagel’s “what is it like to be a bat” which has fundamentally changed my worldview ever since I read a shitty OCR version on a blogspot. I ended up buying the book and enjoyed it even more.

I think halal mortgages are instructive on this point. To be clear, I’m not Muslim nor a lending expert, I just think it’s a really interesting setup.

As I understand it, sharia law forbids paying interest, so a conventional mortgage is not an option for adherents. However, several different mechanisms are allowed by which the purchaser gradually gains full ownership of the home. E.g. one is roughly equivalent to a rent-to-own agreement. The financier still gains a profit that reflects the risk their upfront investment is subject to.

What I find interesting is a recognition that some people need a lot of time to attain homeownership, and it may be valuable to let them live in the home before they fully achieve it, despite the outright rejection of lending as the mechanism.
> "No, the electric toothbrushes are called Braun in markets outside the US. I've only seen them labeled Oral-B in the US."

I can assure you that now days they're Oral-B in most, if not all, markets globally. Certainly in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand they are no longer sold as "Braun", just "Oral-B".

Here's the Oral-B store on amazon.de, for example:

There are literally dozens of companies selling practice management software for vets/doctors/dentists/etc, including many options that can be rented through a SaaS model. Y Combinator has even funded a few. That's not the main problem (although software licenses and training can be expensive).

What is a problem are compliance costs driven by overlapping layers of local, state, and federal rules. Plus if they take insurance payments then they have to deal with myriad different coverage policies and billing requirements. Some of this can be outsourced, but only to a limited extent and at a high cost.

I think you misunderstood, or maybe I wasn't clear in my post. This wasn't an experiment on 2 separate groups; this was an experiment on the same group: those that convert from trial to paid. When I did X, conversion rate for the entire group increased, i.e. I made more money. If I stopped X, I'd make less money. That then lead me to the point of the post -- the % difference in conversion rate were the people who weren't actually ready but signed up for a trial anyways, only to run out of time and never come back.

This type of myopic thinking is how you get asinine policy like the ACA “cap on profits”. Instead of incentivizing an efficient operation, we’ll have some other accounting shenanigans to pass on profits as some other form of income.

I spoke with the compliance manager at the urgent care this afternoon and had a pleasant conversation. I shared my concerns that I was never provided a copy of the paperwork I was expected to sign - and they took that feedback to hopefully improve in the future.

I had one question in case you’re still monitoring this thread. The compliance manager mentioned a “health information exchange” which I opted out of (since it was something I can control). Do you have experience with these? It seems benign from the searches I’ve done since the conversation but I would be curious if you had any insight as a medical professional

It stands in stark contrast to dentistry. Two new grads I know (of middle class means) were able to get $3-5M loans with little to nothing down, and no other collateral, to acquire a practice and to start a practice.
The real gouging is in emergency clinics. They're board certified specialists, and/or you need the service now. $400 plane tickets won't help.
The problem is size, power consumption, and noise. A Raspberry Pi is going to consume about 5W, and depending on your choice of case might not even have a fan at all. I literally bolted mine to the wall of a small utility closet - out of sight, out of mind.

A Dell R620 consumes about 100W at best, but more realistically 200W. Where I live that's $650 in electricity per year. It generates enough heat that you don't really want to stick it in a ventilation-less closet, and it's big enough that I'd have a hard time fitting it anyways. Worst of all, those tiny 1U fans are going to be screaming in the summer, so I really don't want a small quarter-height rack in my living spaces either.

I dislike that a website with privacy in the name collides privacy and anonymity. Privacy does not protect you from the state. Privacy is good enough to protect you from the public.

If you are doing battle with or an enemy of the state, much less an agent of the state acting in bad faith simple privacy will do nothing for you. Worse your misunderstanding of it is actually a vector, like in this case. The measures for anonymity you require will not incorporate fancy UIs, nice features, or even reasonable reliability at times because they will be sacrificed in the name of leaving no trace.
The downside of this approach is the redundancy of information. If multiple conversations are happening at once, it's hard to follow what people are saying about a particular one. Following a thread's history means there is a huge amount of cognitive load regarding filtering irrelevant comments and ignoring redundant quotes. By this new method, I will only ever be shown a post I don't care about once.

Not to be that guy, but search “Seattle teriyaki history” and you will probably change your opinion on whether it belongs on this map. I’d also say that Cougar Gold cheese should be on the Washington map, and that huckleberry anything is more associated with Oregon than Idaho. I’m also dumbfounded that there isn’t a Toronto entry for peameal bacon sandwiches, and that the tenderloin sandwich isn’t an entry for the old Czech town of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. So - map is a good start but has a long way to go.
what are you using to power your search if i may ask?
It's probably some combination of equipment, ingredients or fixed time cost that only makes sense amortized over a large number of units.

I don't make fish and chips or deep-fried chicken at home. I know my kitchen will be smoky and greasy, and I'll have a ton of leftover oil.

Croissants, or their cousin puff pastry are a pain in the ass unless you're making a big batch to freeze or sell. Making a dozen buns in a batch is not so bad, but it's hardly worth the effort to make only a dozen croissants.

Paella tastes best made in a paella pan, and naan is best when it's hot from a tandoor oven. Who's going to keep all that gear around for the one time a year you make paella or naan?

When? Maybe 10-15 years ago?
In terms of differentiation, I have not explored much solutions available out there so can not comment much on that. About the encryption part, WebRTC communications over browsers are encrypted using Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). All WebRTC sessions are encrypted.

>Compressing air necessarily raises its temperature. And then if you want to you can transfer that heat elsewhere, go ahead. That's how air conditioners and refrigerators work, after all.

The oh-so-clever trick is to transfer heat elsewhere while you're compressing the gas, so you actually reduce back-loading on the piston instead of having it 'fight' the temperature rise. This can be accomplished via water spray, or by compressing a gas bubble that's surrounded by water (eg in the trompe).

By continuously removing heat as you compress the gas, it effectively acts like a train of compressors and intercoolers with an infinite number of stages, ie true isothermal compression. No magic, just physics.

Walden, in which the author, Henry David Thoreau, builds a cabin in the woods and lives there for two years, two months, and two days. He gives up many of modern life’s luxuries and makes some incredibly profound observations on how much unnecessary bloat we have in modern life. It was published in 1854 yet remains relevant.

Henry David Thoreau was part of the Transcendentalist movement, so the book reflects a lot of that philosophy. I am revisiting it after first reading it a decade ago and am finding it really fascinating now that I’m older and have spent a bit of time in the workforce and in society.
Ask HN: Did Monday.com's SendGrid service get compromised?
Just got a fake internal email from monday.com as a customer. It passed DKIM, SPF, DMARC, Composite Auth and the Sender IP from Sendgrid looks legit under hostname o9.email.monday.com

I won't mention the body text and the subject, but the email itself looks fine with actual monday.com links but only the call-to-action is a short URL so leading me to conclude that it is fake.

Anyone getting suspicious emails from them?
I'd love to see a concrete example if you have one. I've seen a fair number of people make this claim about bicycle infrastructure and without a fault there's an obvious-to-a-bicyclist reason it doesn't get used. Of the pictures of recently built UK bicycle infrastructure I've seen most of them don't look particularly good.
